Letters: Eastchester Fire District vote

Support Steigelman for commissioner

I wholeheartedly support Richard Steigelman for re-election to the Eastchester Board of Fire Commissioners, and encourage fellow town residents to vote for him during the upcoming election on Tuesday.

I have known Commissioner Steigelman through the repair work his town-based service stations have done on my cars. Commissioner Steigelman's extensive experience as a business owner gives him the budgetary skills vital to making sure the multiple fire houses in the town are run effectively and efficiently; thereby providing residents with maximum safety and minimal taxes.

Mr. Steigelman is also truly committed to the Town of Eastchester, far beyond being a local business owner and member of the Board of Fire Commissioners. He regularly raises funds for local civic organizations, including as director of the annual Eastchester 911 Motorcycle Run & BBQ, which is based out of Lake Isle Country Club and raises money for Sloan-Kettering and other organizations dedicated to cancer treatment and research. Commissioner Steigelman is also a member of the Eastchester Italian-American Citizens Club. He is certainly someone who gives back to the community.

Lastly, for the nearly 20 years I have known Mr. Steigelman as a business owner, I have never heard anyone question his honesty. He brings this same integrity to the Board of Fire Commissioners. For this, and the other reasons cited, I encourage all Eastchester residents to join me in re-electing Mr. Steigelman Eastchester fire commissioner.

Keep Steigelman on Eastchester board

I would like to lend my support for Rich Steigelman on a second term in the upcoming election on Tuesday for the Eastchester Board of Fire Commissioners. He has done a good job in his first term dealing with many complex issues including: back pay; health insurance premiums; and the firehouse renovations; to name a few.

Mr. Steigelman's main focus has been, and continues to be, that his decisions result in a quality fire and emergency medical services to this community with the least tax impact possible. During his tenure, Mr. Steigelman has voted against two fire district budgets because they did not meet those needs, and address the issues that would allow the board to deliver the quality service this community deserves.

Mr. Steigelman is a local business owner who has daily contact with the members of the Eastchester community. He always takes time out of his busy day and makes himself available to listen to what people have to say on all the issues concerning fire and emergency medical services. In addition, he is an active member of the Eastchester Italian-American Club and lends his supports to various other civic organizations and activities.

Please consider your vote carefully and support Richard Steigelman for a second term on the Board of Fire Commissioners. Keep the Town of Eastchester represented.
